Green Point gets CT 2010 vote

2006-07-20 11:24

Cape Town - The Cape Town City council has endorsed Green Point stadium as the only feasible city venue to host a semi-final match for the 2010 Soccer World Cup.

This emerged from an analysis of six possible venues, the council's executive director of transport Mike Marsden said on Thursday.

He said Green Point posed the lowest risk with regard to affordability, long-term sustainability and time constraints.

Close contender Culemborg was a lost opportunity as there was insufficient time to resolve issues around land acquisition.

Newlands did not meet the 68 000-seat requirement for hosting a semi-final.

Winfield, Blue Downs and Athlone should not be considered as host venues at all, a consortium of consultants has found.
